&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Address a specific business problem or need&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Built for a specific audience (the practitioners that will use the configuration)&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Usually describe a specific approach or process&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The following are some examples of practice configurations: RUP, OpenUP, Information Technology Service Management/IBM&#xD;
    Tivoli Unified Process&amp;reg; (ITUP), Method Authoring Method (MAM), etc.&#xD;
